This portable, cordless telephone is designed to help you use the many features of the AT&T DEFINITY Communications System Generic 1, Generic 2, and Generic 3, System 75, and System 85.

In order to provide you with the freedom of mobility, the MDC 9000 is not connected physically (by a line cord or wire from the handset) to the DEFINITY system (or System 75 or System 85). Instead, the MDC 9000 handset communicates by way of a radio link to its radio base, which connects to the telephone system.

See Figure 1 to view the handset and Figure 2 to see its charging base. Then read the explanations of this telephone’s many features following the figures.

The following section lists the many voice features that you can use with your MDC 9000 and briefly explains what each one does and how you might want to use it.

The features in this guide have been divided into two categories:

Phone Features — Those telephone features that you can use immediately

regardless of which communications system your telephone is behind.

System Features — Those features that you can use only with a DEFINITY Communications System or System 75 or System 85. Some system features may not be available for all system types. If a feature is not supported by all systems, the systems that do support that feature are identified in this document by boldface type for the system name. Most of the system features must be assigned to your telephone by the system manager. Check with your system manager to see which of these features you can use.

What the Features Do
